Great stuff from Christy and the boys on the Late Late Show last night, you could even tell Tubs was genuinely getting into it: Never seen Aslan live apart from their brief cameo at the Dublin-Cork League final last year but I think I’ll pay their Tallaght Stadium gig on June 30th a visit - should be a good party before Trap’s Army play for the Henry Delaney cup the following night.

One of the best albums of the eighties, I regularly listen to it, brilliant stuff.

Thanks Fitzy. I really like Big Country, I have to say. I liked the Skids when I was a teenager. I guess I’ve reached the age where I prefer the stadium-oriented sounds of Big Country now.

:lol: I’m not sure I’ve ever heard one of their songs but I know exactly what they sound like from reading about them over the years. I like this “Big Music” stuff ever since I had an epiphany with Whole of the Moon.
